Netflix faces a possibility that all of the Stranger Things child stars will band together to negotiate deals for upcoming seasons of the show.Kid actors Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin each got $30,000 per episode for the first and second seasons with a bonus (less than six figures)The cast is signed for six years, but a renegotiation will happen early next year. Netflix hoped to shoot seasons 3 and 4 back-to-back to get ahead of any potentially awkward adolescent transitions for its young actors.Show creators Matt and Ross Duffer and executive producers Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen are said to have vetoed that idea : The writers room is small and it is not possible to turn out episodes that quickly.Stranger Things clearly is the streaming service's most important franchise.

What I'm curious about is if the income would be reported as earned in California or in Georgia, I guess, from my completely uneducated pov I could see it being either.

Just in general too - like, for really big budget things where they shoot in multiple states or even multiple countries, do they have to try and break their paycheck down across everywhere that they've worked or are they allowed to simplify it and just report it as earned in wherever the production company is based out of? Like, when I go on a business trip I report the income as earned in my office's state, and I could see location shoots being treated like that, but also I'm not gone for months so maybe it's different idk lol

Yeah, but then you're probably a NY resident who is formally employed by google NY. If someone's home office is google CA but they go work on a project in NY for a month or two then they'd still report in CA, right?

I'm not trying to argue with you btw lol, I'm genuinely curious now that I have this question stuck in my head and google isn't seeming to turn up any useful answers. tbh the real answer is probably "whatever their accountants can get away with that allows them to pay the least amount of tax" lol
